Perched on Nothing's Branch: Selected Poems of Attila JozsefHardcover, 1 September 1999

Forty poems and one essay by the left-wing schizophrenic Hungarian poet who committed suicide by throwing himself under a train.

I have long thought of Attila Jozsef as one of the great poets of the century--a tragic realist whose work beautifully redeemed the unbearable conditions of the life to which history condemned him. These new translations will be welcomed.--Donald Justice
